User Testing Tips
Have a plan
• Test with a question in mind • Run through the test thoroughly within your team
first! • Prepare some questions to ask after the test
![Page 14: User Testing - MITweb.mit.edu/ideation/2.S97/lectures/09-user_testing.pdfActivity: Create a User Testing Plan Create a list of questions for your looks-like and works-like prototypes](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042302/5ecdb6f58182b53df94d6b3f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
User Testing Tips
Let the prototype speak for itself
• Minimize instruction • Test in the intended setting • Don’t ‘correct’ someone • Take notes and document - photos and videos if
possible
…ideally, don’t say anything.

User Testing Tips
Think-Aloud Strategy - for single user
• Ask tester to say what they’re thinking as they use your design
• …but can feel a little unnatural

User Testing Tips
Ask question based on your observations
• “I noticed that you _____. Can you describe what you were trying to do?”
Don’t complete their sentences / interrupt
Avoid leading questions
Don’t be too general
Be respectful of the tester

Improve that question!

What would you change? Were there any aspects of the feature x that you found confusing?

Do you like feature x ? Did you think feature x was easy to use?
What did you think about feature x?

User Testing Tips
Your job as designers is to prioritize feedback
• Test with multiple users • Align feedback with design goals

The bottom line of user testing:
Let the prototype and user do the “talking”
![Page 26: User Testing - MITweb.mit.edu/ideation/2.S97/lectures/09-user_testing.pdfActivity: Create a User Testing Plan Create a list of questions for your looks-like and works-like prototypes](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042302/5ecdb6f58182b53df94d6b3f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Activity: Create a User Testing Plan
Create a list of questions for your looks-like and works-like prototypes
Write out a protocol for your user test • Where will you test it? • Who will you test it with? • Which elements will you fake? • What questions can you ask after the test?
